Oh, man, it looks like Chuck is running out of steam. JY, why do you delight in dragging out the tension? Does the sight of us hopping up and down on our chairs excite you sexually? I wouldn’t put it past you!

CAL has really no spacial awareness does he? All he sees is Chuck swinging and missing. He doesn’t think about what’s about to happen, what kind of environment he’s fighting in, and what’s around him that might be dangerous or used against him.

CAL’s inexperience is going to lead him into a world of hot, steaming hurt, I think. CAL might be more powerful, but Chuck’s got a lifetime of fighting and bleeding and striving, and in this kid of battle, that counts for a lot.

I just wanted to say that you’re the only free webcomic I don’t get annoyed with when you run behind schedule, probably because you always set a concrete date for when it’ll actually be done and don’t get super pissy about it.

OK, looks like Cal’s still a cyclops for the moment…and I do believe that Chuck ripping that steam pipe is part of a plan, so far, Chuck has managed to take Cal by surprise more than once, even when Cal believes himself to have the upper hand (pun intended), so I wouldn’t get all proud, Cal, you really have never faced anything like Chuck, no you haven’t LOL

For the predictors: Way back when Chuck first met Cal someone made the point about story arc – the hero has to hit rock bottom, make you think it’s all over and he’s dead. That bit where Chuck’s brain was scrambled and the end seemed near – that was not rock bottom. Expect things to get worse before they get better. My prediction: whatever, if anything, Chuck is planning, or whatever Deus ex machina (Phantom, kudzu, Huey and plasma?) is coming, it’s not time quite yet. That is assuming Chuck is going to survive at all.
